Train with clarity.
Not guesswork.
Yard Performance Assessments give you a clear, science-backed understanding of how your body produces and uses energy. No assumptions. No generic zones. Just real data you can train from.
All testing is completed in a professional kinesiology lab and translated into a clear, Yard-branded report that actually makes sense — and actually improves how you train.
What We Test
VO₂ Max Testing
The gold standard for cardiovascular fitness.
VO₂ max testing measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. It’s one of the most accurate ways to understand aerobic capacity, endurance potential, and conditioning limits.
You’ll complete a progressive treadmill test while wearing a lightweight mask that measures:
- Oxygen consumption
- Oxygen consumption
- Heart rate response
Best for:
- Endurance athletes
- Field and court sport athletes
- Anyone looking to improve conditioning, stamina, or work capacity
Wingate Testing
A clear look at explosive power and anaerobic capacity.
The Wingate Test is a 30-second, all-out effort on a specialized cycling ergometer. It shows how quickly you can produce power — and how well you maintain it when fatigue hits.
We assess:
- Peak power output
- Anaerobic capacity
- Fatigue rate
Best for:
- Team sport athletes
- Sprinters and power-based athletes
- Anyone whose sport demands repeated high-intensity efforts
What to Expect
- Professionally supervised lab testing
- Test selection based on your sport, goals, and experience
- Safe, controlled testing protocols
- Clear communication before and after your session
What You Receive
After your assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive performance report that may include:
- VO₂ max or sub-max thresholds
- Heart rate training zones
- Anaerobic power metrics
- Fatigue and recovery indicators
- Fuel utilization data (when applicable)
Your results are translated into practical insights you can use immediately — and over the long term — to guide training decisions and track progress.
Why Lab-Based Testing?
Wearables estimate.
Lab testing measures.
Lab-based assessments provide:
- Higher accuracy than watches or apps
- Objective baseline data
- Reliable benchmarks for tracking progress
- Insights you can’t get from field tests alone
If you’re serious about training with intention, this is where clarity starts.
